Brașov, The Sign on Tāmpa Mountain 
 
Tāmpa (German: Zinne, or Kapellenberg; Hungarian: Cenk; Latin: Mons Cinum) is a mountain, part of the Postăvarul Massif, located in the southern part of the Eastern Carpathians (alternatively categorized as in the Curvature Carpathians) and almost entirely surrounded by the city of Braşov. Its elevation is 960 metres (995 metres according to some sources), almost 400 metres above the city. The sign is somewhat reminiscent of the Hollywood sign in Los Angeles
